Who are you listening to?

Zening to some Selena.

No way.

Skype me.

Valentina, guess what?

Valentina takes her Apple Airpod out of her ear.

What is it?

Valentina is still looking through her Teen Vogue magazine.

AMETHYST
You remember Dakota?

VALENTINA
Your cousin is someone to not forget. She is top cheer-lebrity around here.

She just messaged me. At any second now, she should be facetiming me on Skype.

Here she go now.

Hello?

AMETHYST AND VALENTINA

Heyy.

DAKOTA
What are you cheetah girls up to?

AMETHYST
Not too long ago finished my daily yoga. 'Bout to get ready for the opening ceremony.

DAKOTA
Me too.

AMETHYST
What do you mean?

VALENTINA
I think it means she's here.

DAKOTA
Yes. Plus, I've been given the honor of being a judge at the competition. The cheer-lebrity judge as some people are saying.

VALENTINA
Congratulations.

AMETHYST
Periodt.

DAKOTA

Someone comes up behind Dakota and whispers in her ear.

Okay.

Dakota turns her attention back to Amethyst and Valentina.

That's my cue to go. Hopefully I'll see you two after the opening ceremony so we can catch up.

AMETHYST
Most definitely.

VALENTINA
Adios.

DAKOTA

Dakota blows Amethyst and Valentina a goodbye kiss.

Mauh!

I guess that's our cue to get dressed and head on out.

After the ceremony,  we get loose. Then, starting tomorrow mornings, claws out.

Right. I'm ready to put Medusa and her snakes to shame.

Ready to go?

Off we go?
